Now I am learning about scary.


For those of you spouting off in the other thread about the Joplin tornado, take another look at the photos posted by PirateNews.

That destruction is about 25 miles from where I live. Would all of you like me to drive over there and ask each person their political affiliation so we know whether we should feel sorry for them or not? Or I could ask each of them which party they blame for the tornado, if you'd prefer.

Who CARES about politics right now? Not me! A natural disaster that had nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans or Independents or Tea Partiers or anyone else happened to those people. Is it so impossible to keep your political opinions to yourself for once and simply wish those people the best after what they've been through?

I guess the answer is "yes," and I find that sad.

Go off and have your little spats. Do not expect me to be a part of them.

And I send my heartfelt sympathy to all of the people affected by the storms this year.

The local FEMA Nazis in Joplin are turning away rescue volunteers, just like during Katrina.

There are 1,500 people still buried dead or alive in Joplin...

You should drive over there are start digging for bodies.

Of course the Police State death squads would just shoot you on sight, just like Katrina.

Oh, give me a break with your paranoid ranting.

The 1500 people missing are mostly people who were out of town at the time and simply haven't been accounted for.

They are not shooting anyone.

You know what? I refuse to waste any more time on this. You tell me what you're doing to help any of those people. Nothing. Yep. 'Nuff said.

First responders who drove to Joplin were turned away by armed police, according to their interviews on national radio today. First responders never have uniforms or badges, and have to buy their own equipment and training, yet they outnumber ambulance and rescue squads 10:1.

Centerton First Baptist Church Joplin Response: Those of you who are D.R. trained by the Arkansas Baptist Convention, AND have a current ID and uniform, should have received a "stand by" notice. Please call Bob Metcalf if you are available to leave for Joplin soon. His number is 479.381.9978. Attempts to enter the disaster area without proper identification will be turned back by law enforcement personnel.

75% of a town of 50,000 was wiped off the map by the deadliest tornado in at least 60 years. How could anyone survive this, especially when rescuers are turned away:

Rescuers were "busy" saving Home Depot's dozens of dead employees and customers


If you want to save your family you have to do it yourself

Big Brother dont give a shit about you or anyone else. You should plan accordingly.

Ignore the troll. It feeds on attention. Take nothing it posts with a grain of salt.

As for the 1,500 or so "missing", how do we know they weren't raptured ?

( sorry )

It just seems odd, that such a staggering number is being reported... where does this figure come from ? I mean, there have been massive tornadoes and events like this before, with much loss of life, but 1,500 missing ? I have to believe that much of those are just not heard from, because of the communications being down, but even still, that seems like an abnormally large number. I'm a bit skeptical, but also kinda not on this matter.

That's why I refused to make fun of the Rapture Cults or join the Armageddon Day Party, because millions of people died that day. Same as every other day. Bad Karma is bad luck.

At least Obama sips $1,000 champagne with the hereditary German dictator of the British Empire in London while Joplin burns.

Ah, now his “2008″ gaffe from earlier today is starting to make more sense. Turns out … he really is brain-damaged.

No, I kid. I think he, like Frank Drebin, simply doesn’t believe in silly ideas like having queens:

The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.

But the president wasn’t done speaking.

“The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began…

“To the Queen,” the president finally said.

He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.

But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table.

Protocol, apparently, requires the toastmaster to wait until after “God Save the Queen” plays and then begin the toast. But the almighty O waits for no sovereign, so he launched straight into his shpiel. To which I say, good for him. What else was the American revolution about, if not the right of the president to half-ass some formulaic niceties about the British monarch? He should have punctuated it with a weary “whatever” and downed the glass in one gulp.

This is why he doesn’t get invited to royal weddings, guys.

Mmm,mmm,mmm! Chalaque Hussein Obama!

Has he bowed to the Queen? Or does he only do that to dictators and communists?

So... what are YOU doing to help? Has your posting here helped anyone in Joplin? Has my posting here HARMED anyone in Joplin? I've sent one thing that can REALLY help: Cash. I've also donated food and clothing to some local drives gathering stuff to send to disaster victims there, in Alabama, and now in Oklahoma. And now the sirens are going off just north of me.

I'll help whenever and however I can. I personally went to Galveston when Hurricane Rita was bearing down on the island, and evacuated a good friend and his animals, but only after we'd moved as much of his stuff inland to storage as we could.

It's not inhuman to wonder why politicians are behaving inhumanely in the wake of these disasters, or why they continually vote to withhold funding from systems dedicated to giving advance warning of such disasters.
